FIVE CENTURIES OF EMBLEMS
Celebrating the 500th anniversary
of Alciato’s first manuscript of
Emblematum Liber
History
In 1986, Daniel Russell and Peter M. Daly edited the first issue of Emblematica: An Interdisciplinary Journal for Emblem Studies, published by AMS Press (New York). The journal quickly became the most important venue for scholars in the field of emblem studies, with the continuous support of an authoritative editorial board. Twenty one volumes were published until 2017, when AMS Press closed.
Amid uncertainties about the future of the journal, Mara Wade, the last Editor in Chief of Emblematica: An Interdisciplinary Journal for Emblem Studies moved operations to its new home at Droz in 2018, to continue the publication under a new title, Emblematica: Essays in Word and Image.
Good fortune attendant on virtue
The caduceus, with entwined snakes and twin wings, stands upright between the horns of Amalthea. It thus indicates how material wealth blesses men of powerful intellect, skilled in speaking.
Scope
